This is orthorexia, a mental illness. When health becomes an obsession like this, it ironically leads people to try tons of high risk experimental methods, which eventually come back to bite you. I'm a researcher in a related field, and have a lot of friends into this stuff- several of whom have died from it.

You can get all of the real results he's gotten by eating healthy and exercising regularly, for the cost of a gym membership. Your average 45 year old crossfitter is in better shape than this guy, and there are more effective programs than crossfit.

The rest of it have substantial risk and likely no reward.
